Life is fab with a Better World Arts hand embroide

Life is fab with a Better World Arts hand embroidered rug. This one by Sarah Josephine Lane is so beautiful. It’s special to me because I spent time at @papulankutjaartists with Sarah and her husband and the other artists in 2019 and 2020. She’s as vibrant as her artworks and it’s great to know she gets royalties from every single sale of her licensed designs.

See our fantastic (huge!) range of cushion covers and rugs/wall hanging of all sizes. Affordable and Fair Trade accredited. Find them in our Etsy shop (link in bio).

Billabong by Christina Yambeing is a bold and striking print design. This design is inspired by the billabong in Daly River where Christina is from.⁠

Hand printed in our studio in Leichhardt as a 4 colour print on white 100% cotton.

Thank you @canberratimes for including me in your article yesterday. It had some scary statistics about how many new things some people are buying.

None of us are perfect but every small step helps. As always use what you have before buying something new, buy second hand, swap with people and buy from small business if you can.

Knowing who is making what you are buying and where the items are coming from is a great step 🙌

WAHOO! 🤩 The excitement is building. 🎉 Delighted to see the support this wonderful project is getting from luverly peeps all around Australia. It’s a crowdfunding (donation) campaign. No donation too small (or big!). We want to see our friends Ikuntji Artists publish it in May. They’re a non-profit Aboriginal owned art centre. Just needs a bit more 💖 to pay the printers. Inside the beautiful cover more than 250 pages of fabric gorgeousness awaits.

⭐️ All contributions are tax deductible (and June is not far away!!). The link is not in our bio but if you go to @ikuntjiartists you’ll find it in theirs. Or browse @pozible .

Ooooh look, it’s a flying fox 🤩😍🥰Fabulous project with the collaborative art quilt now installed at the Territory Wildife Park, south of Darwin. Story below.

More than 80 women slow-stitched this community quilt with a message ❤️

The quilt depicts the animals, plants and biodiversity found in the NT's iconic Adelaide River system, which is best known for its crocodiles.

Indigo artist Meng Hoeschle hosted sessions at her studio to dye the quilt fabric.

The completed work was recently launched at the @territorywildlifepark to a huge crowd of women, who inspected their contributions stitched together for the first time.

Behind the scenes has been local artist Jasmine Jan, who has created this community art project and others for the Territory Wildlife Park

"A lot of these projects we do with some sort of conservation message or some sort of educational purpose and this one was raising awareness about the Adelaide River system," she said.

"It's not just about crocodiles."

"We like the idea that we're building a community of crafters but also crafters with a purpose."

"I like the idea that a quilt is something you use to keep you warm and it's a comforting thing, and I like the idea that everybody's put a little piece of themselves into this quilt."
